Until now, the public life of James Walker Hood (1831-1918), bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion (AMEZ) Church and a major political and religious leader of the nineteenth century and the early twentieth, has gone largely unexamined. For God and Race recovers the public career of Hood as a representative of the major builders of independent black Christianity during this period who understood faithfulness to God as inseparable from the quest for racial justice, and it explores Hood's role in the AMEZ Church, a denomination known for its singular success in promoting leadership for the abolitionist movement.
The Liberia Exodus of 1878 was the one of the biggest events in African American history. It certainly rivaled the Emancipation Proclamation and the end of slavery in the nineteenth century, as the grand event and the most talked about until the coming of Marcus Garvey some forty years later.
Dwayne Cox and William Morison trace the twists and turns of the University of Louisville's two hundred year journey from provincial academy to national powerhouse. From the 1798 charter that established Jefferson Seminary to the 1998 opening of Papa John Stadium, Cox and Morison reveal the unique and fascinating history of the university's evolution. They discuss the early failures to establish a liberal arts college; tell the extraordinary story of the Louisville Municipal College, U of L's separate division for African Americans during the era of segregation; detail the political wrangling and budgetary struggles of the university's move from quasi-private to state-supported institution; and confront head-on the question of the university's founding date. The history of the University of Louisville defies the stereotype of orderly and planned growth. For many years, the university was essentially a consortium of two professional schools—medicine and law. Not until the first decade of the twentieth century did the liberal arts gain a firm and permanent foothold. Because of its early emphasis on practical, professional education and the virtual autonomy of its separate units for many years, the University of Louisville is unusual in the annals of higher education.
An explosive inside look at The Dirty Dozen, the star-studded war film that broke the rules, shocked the critics, thrilled audiences, and became an all-time, cult-movie classic . . . The year was 1967. A cinematic blockbuster exploded across American popular culture. The Dirty Dozen didn’t just reinvent the “men on a mission” war story, it blew the genre to pieces. Like its ragtag team of crazies, murderers, and misfits, it defied authority, mocked the military, and still managed to deliver action, adventure, and no-holds-barred Nazi-killing. It also received four Oscar nominations, launched the careers of many Hollywood legends, and inspired generations of filmmakers like Sam Peckinpah, Quentin Tarantino, and James Gunn. Based on exclusive interviews with the surviving cast and crew, friends and families of the stars, and other Hollywood insiders, Killing Generals is a riveting must-read for film buffs, military fans, and anyone who loves a down-and-dirty adventure tale. To quote the character played by Charles Bronson, “Boy oh boy—killing generals could get to be a habit with me.” Detailed, insightful, and gossipy, Epstein’s homage spotlights the movie’s endless barrage of cinematic gold. During a time when America was reeling from turmoil—the Vietnam War, civil rights protests, social upheaval—Hollywood held an indelible mirror up to a changing society. Films like Bonnie and Clyde, The Graduate, Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner, Cool Hand Luke, and In the Heat of the Night would define the era. But it was a gritty, violent, darkly comic World War II movie called The Dirty Dozen that would really strike a chord with audiences—and become the year’s biggest box office success. Heading up the all-star cast were Lee Marvin, Ernest Borgnine, John Cassavettes, Charles Bronson, Donald Sutherland, Jim Brown, Robert Ryan, Clint Walker, and at his most terrifying best, Telly Savalas, propelling many of them to stardom. More than a viewing companion to an iconic film, Killin’ Generals brings to vivid life a pivotal epic in American history and pop culture, when going to the movies—in person—was a way of life shared by millions.
Winner of the NAACP Image Award and finalist for the 2019 Los Angeles Times Book Prize “A powerful work of lyric art.” —New York Times Book Review, Editors’ Choice In fierce, agile poems, Felon tells the story of the effects of incarceration—canvassing a wide range of emotions and experiences through homelessness, underemployment, love, drug abuse, domestic violence, fatherhood, and grace—and, in doing so, creates a travelogue for an imagined life. Reginald Dwayne Betts confronts the funk of post-incarceration existence in traditional and newfound forms, from revolutionary found poems created by redacting court documents to the astonishing crown of sonnets that serves as the volume’s radiant conclusion.

Many of the millions of born-again Christians worldwide are unsure of Gods will for their lives. Designed to spiritually enlighten born-again believers and lost souls, My Fathers Business offers divine guidance that will help spiritual seekers to carry out the Lords calling. Teacher and Author Elder Dwayne Lopes is an ordained minister and the creator of an award-winning local Christian television program. He relies upon practical spiritual truths and natural answers found in the Bible in order to provide spiritual direction for those who want to serve God faithfully. Elder Lopes begins by sharing the story of Jeremiah, a weeping prophet, who often showers his Old Testament prophecies in tears of compassion, yet acknowledges Gods great compassions and mercies are new every morning, for great is Gods faithfulness. He also shares through the life example of the disciples in the New Testament by teaching others on how to receive gifts from God through waiting, fasting, and prayer. Elder Lopes continues to promote and educate spiritual awareness and growth by highlighting the work of several Old Testament prophets who taught valuable lessons about the Word of God, the Afterlife, Repentance, and Gods will for their lives as well as our lives. Since the Bible declares many are called, and few are chosen, Elder Lopes believes many people are called by God like many are called by telemarketers, survey-takers, and bill collectors over the phone. However, Gods call and his gifts are irrevocable and his call to live the life he intended for us to have should always be answered by saying Yes to his will. For few are chosen by God to lead, but many are called by God to serve as laborers to help those in leadership as well as others in the world. This book is written and geared not for the few, but for the many plus the spiritual leadership of wisdom offered in My Fathers Business will help the many eager followers on their own journeys to both discover and live the will of our heavenly Father. Elder Lopes is not only an ordained minister who was the former host of the local, award-winning Christian television program The Light of the World, Armor Men of God, but he also obtained his Bachelors degree in Pastoral Leadership Ministry from Ohio Christian University in Circleville, Ohio. He is now pursuing his Masters degree in Practical Theology, plus he and his family currently lives in Reynoldsburg, Ohio.

If the cosmos could be divided into quadrants of constellations, we can look for life in other planets in quadrants: -23, -32, and -13. A new kind of numerology called pendulum flow is with God’s inner/outer workings with and from his divine Holy Spirit. Pendulum level = change; change = pendulum flow; pendulum flow = clockwork of God’s Holy Spirit. A new kind of numerology that is not of the occult as it is no longer concealed but is revealed by God and his divine Holy Spirit and is, of course, of a righteous and divine intervention of God’s hand. “It is the glory of God to conceal a matter. But the glory of kings is to search out a matter” (Proverbs 25:2). Reciprocal sequence 252: Who sat at the right hand of God upon his resurrection? Jesus Christ. With who was everything created through the universal father? God’s son, Jesus Christ. This is an example of a pendulum flow. If there is a theory of evolution, there is also a theory or law of cardinal numbers. These numbers all prove that there is a universal god who exists. The theory or law of cardinal numbers beats evolution. God’s Holy Spirit = the 360 inverse spherical/spiritual law of force is the 360 inverse spherical/spiritual law of reciprocity. This is the mathematical pendulum flow equation: if A and B equals 0 to 9 and A is not equal to B and B does not equal A, then AB = reciprocal = BA = God’s active spirit force = God’s law of reciprocity. The pure language of numerology = the equations of pendulum flow.

Challenges to American college and university affirmative action and racial and ethnic diversity initiatives were resolved by the Supreme Court in its 2003 decisions in the University of Michigan case. Those decisions affirmed, as a compelling interest, the attainment of racially diverse student bodies in higher education. The Court's decisions and the predicted increases over the next decade in the numbers of race and ethnic group high school graduates have reinforced and in some cases strengthened the resolve of college and university officials that the positive returns from affirmative action and racial diversity are real and worth pursuing. The purpose of this annotated bibliography is to provide a record of the research, scholarship, and programs for recruitment and retention of African American, Alaskan Native, American Indian, Asian American, Latino, and Pacific Islander students at the college and university levels. It is structured to facilitate access by college and university administrators, professionals, consultants, researchers, and students who require information on recruitment and retention to aid in their decision making about strategy related issues, and scientific and creative processes in the area. This bibliography covers more than forty years of literature and contains 969 citations organized into five chapters.
Long overdue for an institutional history, Auburn University possesses a rich and storied past. Dwayne Cox's The Village on the Plain traces the school's history in authoritative detail from its origins as a private college through its emergence as a complex land-grant university. Originally founded prior to the Civil War with an emphasis on classical education, Auburn became the state's land-grant college after the cessation of hostilities. This infused the school with a vision of the South as a commercial and industrial rival to the North. By the 1880s, instruction in applied science had become Auburn's curricular version of this "New South" creed. Like most southern universities, Auburn never enjoyed financial abundance, creating scarcity that intensified internal debate over whether liberal arts or applied disciplines deserved more of the school's limited resources. Meager state funding for higher education complicated Auburn's rise and became a source of competition with the University of Alabama. This rivalry was perhaps most intense between 1908 and 1948, when the two schools did not meet on the gridiron, but blocked and tackled one another in the legislature over the division of state funds. Like many universities founded in somewhat isolated locations during the antebellum period, Auburn developed an insular culture, which hindered the school's progress in issues related to race. Cox traces how this insularity also found expression in the school's resistance to outside academic regulatory organizations as well as in conflicts over the university's governance. Auburn University's history is that of a small private college that transformed itself in the face of sweeping national events and state politics, not only to survive threats but to emerge more complex and resilient. Offering much to students of higher education and Alabama history, as well as readers affiliated with Auburn University, The Village on the Plain tells the story of this complex and fascinating institution.
Author Dwayne W. Pickett details the life of William Hilton, his exploration of the Carolina coast and the founding of an iconic island. Behind the pristine beaches and world renown of Hilton Head Island lies a history that dates back to the early exploration of the nation. In 1663, William Hilton, a mariner born in England, was hired by a group in Barbados to find new lands for them to settle. Hilton led an exploration of the Port Royal Sound area, where he named a high bluff of land Hiltons Head as a navigational marker for future sailors. The island began as a sparsely populated area on the fringe of English settlement in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, when it was called Trench's Island on some maps.

★ Publishers Weekly starred review "A superior volume on Christian antiracism."--Publishers Weekly Racism is omnipresent in American life, both public and private. We are immersed in what prominent faith leader Willie Dwayne Francois III calls white noise--the racist speech, ideas, and policies that lull us into inaction on racial justice. White noise masks racial realities and prevents constructive responses to microaggressions, structural inequality, and overt interpersonal racism. In this book, Francois calls people of all racial backgrounds to take up practices that overcome silence and inaction on race and that advance racial repair. Drawing from his anti-racism curriculum, the Public Love Organizing and Training (PLOT) Project, Francois encourages us to move from a "colorblind" stance and mythic innocence to one that takes an honest account of our national history and acknowledges our complicity in racism as a prelude to anti-racist interventions. Weaving together personal narrative, theology, and history, this book invites us to engage 6 "rhythms of reparative intercession." These are six practices of anti-racism that aim to repair harm by speaking up and "acting up" on behalf of others. Silencing White Noise offers concrete ways to help people wrest free from the dangers of racism and to develop lifelong Christian anti-racist practices.
